Happy New year everyone!
I was just in BoatUS (Oakland) this weekend. I stopped by there ready to buy a new sink faucet/unit for Kuan Yin. I went there because the prices were a couple of dollars cheaper than W.M.
The guy I spoke with was VERY helpful. It talk me out of buying a plastic replacement unit and made some suggestions on where to get a gasket/seal to fix the leak, since they had no repear kits. He said it is a shame to replace a high quality unit with a piece of cheap plastic, they do not make them like this anymore. Then he went to the computer and tried to find some resorces for me, including the Pearson New Website. He also suggested I check with the people on the Ariel website!!! :-) He was the most helpful sales person I have come across. Made the kids at W.M. look pitiful!
Afterward I wanted some info on a GPS unit. I told him I was not ready to buy just yet but wanted some info. He gave me the full run down on all the portable units... wow !
This guy also raved about how well built and seaworthy Pearsons are , they can take so much more than the new light weight boats. And gave me some info about calling ship to ship...
I decided then to join and do business with BoatUS. I came home looking for my discount coupons from the Boat safety course and found out about the merger, when checking a price on Ebay with the catalog. surprise , surprise.
Here at the Martinez Marina, we have a store called Eagle Marine.
I went in a couple of times. Not a large amount of items and unhelpful staff! :-(
sad...
Now while on speaking of faucets. Any crurser- folks out there know about a replacement seal for the faucet? The pump is fine, but the faucet leaks around the plastic seal at the pump staff on top of the sink. I'm guessing the racer-folks just dump theirs to save the little weight...
